Concealed to Brandishing

[Biggfoot44]

I would casually sweep my jc Penney sport coat to the side as I'm standing

Assault is the act of threatening or placing someone in fear of being attacked . Can be verbal , non verbal , gestures , etc in totality , and of course any statements you may or may not make subsequently . The presence of a Firearm automatically makes 1st Degree .

There isn't a master list of this gesture is approved , that guesture is bad , it's the totality , at that place & time , in whatever circumstances .

The debate of Open for deterrence vs Concealed for tactical surprise ( with firearms ) has been around since the first Wheellocks , and will be eternal , and unsettlible .

That early morning boat ramp, kayak launch or just bank fishing can be a little dicey at times. I always had my wits about me and stop here and there to listen for anyone sneaking around. Be careful out there.

When I fish early, I circle the lot, fire a few shots to see if anyone runs away...if they don't, then I know who the real players are...it will probably work at most gas stations too...

Ok, so let’s say I am carrying IWB but exposed as I uncover it before exiting the vehicle to pump gas. Partially Concealed/Partially Open all good right?

Was none of this covered in your carry class?

Some one needs to start franchising "What if?" classes

There's 4 categories...

The ones that run...
The ones that stand their ground...
The ones that pull their gun and point it at you...
And the ones that pull their gun and look around to see who you're shooting at, so they can shoot 'em too.

That last group are the ones that got your back.

I propose a What If Forum.

It will be the most active forum on MDS.

Who’s with me?

My concealed piece only shows when I clean the windows. Idaf who sees.

Nope. Never was a discussion on partially concealed/open. Was told I could carry open or concealed. Pretty sure if I knew that answer I wouldn’t have asked here. So, what is the point of your response?

That's a terrible idea. People want someone who agrees with them

My first thing at welder's was no stranger to "what ifs" and "this happened to me..." tangents.

Does ifs have an apostrophe? If's?

I think he's more talking about tactics.
You do what you want, but most don't feel that showing off their pistol is not a good or proper de-escalation tactic.
In fact, it's horrible. Because if you're wrong, you may inadvertently be escalating a situation.

That move is never covered in a self defense class as a viable option.
It's covered in what not to do.

People get their asses beat just to have their gun stolen from them.

For the most part, a threat shouldn't know until it's too late.

What if ... you were the one needing someone elses processed gas station food (Sub, Chicken, sushi etc) ?

run/walk up and start feeling some dudes waist band? Merry Christmas how ya doin.
Have your own empty greasy bag looking through it "Merry Christmas, should my chicken look like this?"
Dress like Santa and just clobber them with a bag of toys?

Stay Frosty the Snowman, as they say.

Not related, but related.
I was talking with a bar owner once about a DC cop customer who always carried getting hammered.
I was saying how stupid it was, etc... And that I never drink and carry.
Well shortly after, an unrelated joke was made that was worthy of a hearty laugh. So as everyone was belting out their laughs,
Mr. He-thinks-he's-slick bar owner pats me down in the right hip during the bellows.
FCK him

Just asking, because this is something that either get covered or should have been asked in your class.

 

[Blaster229]

And Fabs.....

I dunno.
I would just keep answering that you don't pull your gun until it's time to shoot. And Fabs would just somehow keep relating to stories about fixing his 93 Taurus.
Pretty boring if you ask me.
